Genomic analysis and antibiotic resistance of a multidrug-resistant bacterium isolated from pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plant sludge by Ningyu Sun, Hu Gao, Xinbo Zhang, Zeyou Chen, Anping Peng

“…N4 exhibited high resistance to both antibiotics and metals, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of chloramphenicol and cefazolin reaching 1024 mg·L−1 and MICs of Cu2+ and Zn2+ reaching 512 mg·L−1. Co-sensitization experiments revealed that when antibiotics are co-existing with heavy metal ions (such as TET and Cd2+, AMP and Cu2+) could enhance the resistance of N4 to them. …”

Study on the Effect of Rock Strength on the Macro-Meso Shear Behaviors of Artificial Rock Joints by Yujing Jiang, Sunhao Zhang, Hengjie Luan, Qinglin Shan, Baocheng Li, Dong Wang, Chuanyang Jia

“…The results show that (i) the shear stress curve of low-strength rock joints is strain-softening type, while high-strength rock joints are strain-hardening type, and high-strength rock joints are more sensitive to the change of roughness. (ii) With the increase of JRC, the damage mode of different strength rock joints gradually changes from “abrasion” to “abrasion + gnawing,” and the damage characteristics of the surface of high-strength rock joints are more significant. …”
